i.ram is a proper name listed as an Edomite chief in two genealogical notices.

The supplied verses use the term as a proper name in lists of Edomite chiefs, where it follows the title “chief” alongside Magdiel.

    The form is tagged Noun · Proper in both occurrences. In Genesis 36:43 the APB renders the list “Chief Magdiel, chief Iram” and identifies the chiefs as belonging to Edom; in 1 Chronicles 1:54 it likewise renders “chief Magdiel, chief Iram” before stating that these were the chiefs of Edom.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the name as “Iram” following the title “chief.” The title is confirmed by the clause rather than assigned mechanically to the term.
